This is for 1.4 but the basics remain the same.
Things you need to look at in themes:
Do the css properties for a selector include borders? Are there inherited properties? Most good themes reuse images a lot; a popular method of adding gradients is to have a small png that can be used in many areas - it may be CALLED thead.png, but you need to find the correct selector.
This is where tools such as Firebug and Dragonfly come in handy; you can pinpoint the element you want to change and see what selectors in the css are applied to it.
* selector: generally a class or an id.
